Re: Friends-In-Trouble Tips

Thanks to everyone who have replied.

Shyra has a point in her post. But the one in trouble should/could goto a trusted adult, or trusted friend.

[Edit//
"Anytime these sorts of issues are involved, it is ABSOLUTELY critical that you don't just try to deal with it yourself--you need to get the person some professional help. Every school (whether Junior High, High School, or College/University) has some form of counseling department that is far better equipped to handle these sorts of issues than you are. Talk to teachers, parents, religious leaders, or anyone else you feel comfortable with and let them know what's going on with your friend.
If it's something less dire, like helping a friend deal with a break-up, etc, then at least for me the most helpful thing is to just have some one to talk to. Take the friend out to a movie and just let them talk to you if they want." - rbayer

Rob, good point. One thing though, what if you don't really trust people w/ your feelings? (this isn't just directed towards Rob's post, but to everyone's).

"My best advice would probably be to inform the persons parents/guardians/roommate. I mean, it's fine to try and help the person through it, but at least alert the parents to the fact that there's something possibly wrong. I don't know what else I'd do, I guess it would heavily depend upon the person and the specific situation." - evulish

What if the parents don't believe you? I'm just questioning ideas because I would like to know what people would do if it didn't turn out like it was supposed to.
